Another copy

===================

Just got some 17mm hexes and a set of flux battery boxes. These boxes are HUGE. I'm now not sure if i'll have a choice of placement as if i try to put them on the upper plate they will hit the front and rear assemblies.

But once again i can't do anything till i get that damned CD mount.

==============

ust finished doing the countersinking. I need to do it incase i have my batteries on the upper plate.

ALos while at bunnings today i got a dremel router attachment. What it does is uses your dremel and turns it into a bench router. this means that it'll be much easier to replicate metal items on the XXL.

==============

retty good. I bought a few different bits. the first one i tried was useless though i didn't know that until i got sick and tired af having to apply soo much pressure. I then got a different bit and it was excellent, there are only 2~3 screws that make a little bump.

just put the front and rear ends on the chassis. everything lines up perfectly which is good. I then decided to test fit the body. The bottom of both sides of the body don't touch the lower plate. This could be resolved if i can get some muggy shock towers. I'll put a thing up in the wanted section.

For the battery placement i am rethinking my idea of using the flux battery boxes as they are too long. I could just chop them up and then join them again somehow. If i think that'll be too hard i will just make my own using some angle alu, pick some up at bunnings today. Or i could get some propper battery boxes and use them. I'm not sure as i don't know how much room i have to work with ATM due to no bloody CD mount. HURRY UP RCM AND MAKE SOME MORE.

I put some 40 series wheels and tires on and it looks wierd. the tires and wheels look so tiny against the XXL body. Though if i can get some muggy towers i can lower the body or use the bulldog one.

this build is moving my XXL from the MT side of things to the truggy side. It's having a sex change as some might say...

=============

I'm back to having conversations by myself...jks

Today i cut some more bits out of CF. I did these by using my dremel router table attachment. It hakes it much easier to cut things that have weird shapes.
